Middle & large business written premium increased driven by high single-digit new business growth and renewal written price increases in all lines. Written premium grew in nearly all lines across industry verticals, specialty markets, and large property.
Global specialty written premium increased driven by written price increases across almost all lines as well as an increase in gross new business, primarily in U.S. excess casualty insurance lines. Written premiums also grew in global reinsurance, primarily in property, credit risk and casualty.
Renewal written price increases were recognized in most lines.
In small business, renewal written price increases were higher than the prior year, with low double-digit price increases in package business and automobile and moderating high single-digit price increases in excess and surplus lines. Workers' compensation pricing was slightly negative.
In middle market, renewal written price increases were consistent with prior year levels overall, with mid single-digit to low double-digit price increases in most lines. Liability pricing has accelerated and property pricing has moderated from 2024 levels. Workers’ compensation continued to be modestly positive.
